SERMON: Rev. O. F. Stolzenburg  ... Columbus, O.&#13;
&#13;
My hope is built on nothing less &#13;
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;&#13;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame&#13;
But wholly lean on Jesus' name&#13;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,&#13;
All other ground is sinking sand.&#13;
&#13;
When darkness veils His lovely face&#13;
I rest on His unchanging grace&#13;
In every high and stormy gale,&#13;
My anchor holds within the veil &#13;
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, &#13;
All other ground is sinking sand.&#13;
&#13;
His oath, His covenant, and blood,&#13;
Support me in the sinking flood;&#13;
When every earthly prop gives way,&#13;
He then is all my hope and stay,&#13;
On Christm the solid Rock, I stand,&#13;
All other ground is sinking sand,&#13;
&#13;
When I shall alunch to worlds unseen,&#13;
O may I then be found in Him,&#13;
Dressed in His rightesousness alone,&#13;
Faultess to stand before the throne,&#13;
On Christ, the solid Rock I stand,&#13;
All other ground is sinking sand.&#13;
&#13;
